In 2005, Daniel and Jalia Matovu were living off $2 a day. Today, their company, African Style Arts, trains and employs 300 locals, earning revenues of $300,000 to over $400,000 per year. They also offer interest-free loans to those in need.
Daniel and Jalia met as students of African Bible CollegeUganda in 2005. Having both converted to Christianity against the wishes of their families, they were destitute, with no family support. Daniel was taking sponsored courses while the couple received help, food, and clothing from missionaries in the college. But they still struggled to survive. Through various odd jobs, they scraped together $60 a month--attempting to live off $2 a day.
In 2011, a missionary from the United States brought some of Daniel’s handmade paper-bead, necklaces and bracelets back with her to the United States.
Then, an incredible thing happened. People in the States began to ask for more. The demand for Daniel’s beautiful, African-style crafts grew from twenty pieces a month to hundreds, and now … thousands. Within years, a business was born.
Daniel and Jalia’s lives were changed forever. But it wasn’t just their own lives that began to change. The couple have been able to use their company - African Style Arts - to drastically change the lives of hundreds in and around their community.
Today, African Style Arts provides jobs for 300 workers … 100 in house, and 200 in the neighboring communities. The company designs, creates, and wholesales hand-designed, handmade necklaces, bracelets, and other colourful ornaments to the States for revenues of between $300,000 to over $400,000 per year.
But that is not the end of it. The truly incredible story of African Style Arts is how they are transforming the lives of their workers and neighbors, providing patient training and mentoring, focusing on vulnerable women and children in poorer areas. African Style Arts gives out interest-free loans to its workers and helps finance a free day care center for mothers who want to work but cannot afford to do so because of their children. The company has even teamed up with their US client to sponsor 32 children’s education.
Despite their incredible success, Daniel and Jalia continue to learn and plan ahead. In the near future, they hope to expand their product line-up and establish three similar operations in struggling areas of Africa.

Thaidi is a 70 year old resident of the Transkei in South Africa, an area steeped in local tradition and craftsmanship. Born with a crippling disorder, Thaidi fought against all odds to carve a life for herself as a bead artist. Learning an age old craft, Thaidi created a business selling intricate pieces to tourists and visitors to the area. Women in the area took heed of Thaidi's work and she passed on her skills, empowering dozens more as tourism increased. Now, e-commerce platform Artisans In Africa is opening the doors to an international market and allowing Thaidi the ability to offer her extraordinary work to socially conscious customers across the globe.

This is a short documentation on Olayami Dabls, an esteemed fine-artist, museum curator, and historian working in Detroit's MBAD African Art Museum, which has the mission to build and organize collections of beads, beadworks, textiles, sculptures, and other cultural relics which exemplify the vastness of the African people's material culture.
I spoke with Dabls late May and early June of 2015 about his artwork and the $100,000 he received by the Knight foundation here in Detroit to fix the roof on the adjacent building so the African Bead Museum can be completed and put on display. In the meantime, I encourage you to watch this short doc and learn more about his art practice regarding the art-objects displayed around the land.

African art

African art is a term typically used for the art of Sub-Saharan Africa. Often, casual, amateur observers tend to generalize "traditional" African art, but the continent is full of people, societies and civilizations, each with a unique visual culture. The definition may also include the art of the African Diasporas, such as the art of African Americans. Despite this diversity, there are some unifying artistic themes when considering the totality of the visual culture from the continent of Africa.

Video of Collection of Trade Beads. African, Venetian, Russian.
Have finally decided to let these go, so we're putting them up so sale.
I'm sorry that it's not a professional video, as this was originally made for just a few people who were interested in the beads.
Sold Trade & Antique Beads for over 15 years. Quit selling the them approximately 15 years ago. This was my personal collection. Beads date anywhere from 70 years ago to well over 100+ years ago
Haven't kept up with the current prices but just going by the prices that I originally paid for them back then, these beads sold individually should be worth well over 100 K. But then again that was 20 to 30 years ago.
There are many, many one of a kind beads and many beads that most people have never seen. Some so rare that you've only seen in bead history books.
Not interested in selling them individually. Looking to sell the collection as a whole.
There are many, many more beads than those shown in the video. These are just what beads we happened to pull to shoot the video for a friend of ours who was interested in them. I have pictures of the additional beads that are available upon request. Please understand that there are well over 200 additional pictures available with the beads laid out in groups so less pictures would be needed,
The video does not do justice to the beauty of the individual beads.
More Old and Antique beads than you've probably ever seen in one place.
This collection really needs to be appreciated.
Trades will be considered.

10 Reasons Why African Women Wear Waist Beads

Waistbeads, also known as belly beads, have traditionally been worn by African women since the 15th century to serve many celebratory purposes. In Africa, a bead is rarely a simple ornament; beads are worn visibly as a sign of status or hidden as an invisible yet perceptible signal to a husband or lover.

“What kind of business leaders will ABI raise?”
From Rags to Beads
A Ugandan Entrepreneurial Success Story
----------------------------------------
Find out more about ABI on http://africanbusiness.institute
----------------------------------------
In 2005, Daniel and Jalia Matovu were living off $2 a day. Today, their company, African Style Arts, trains and employs 300 locals, earning revenues of $300,000 to over $400,000 per year. They also offer interest-free loans to those in need.
Daniel and Jalia met as students of African Bible CollegeUganda in 2005. Having both converted to Christianity against the wishes of their families, they were destitute, with no family support. Daniel was taking sponsored courses while the couple received help, food, and clothing from missionaries in the college. But they still struggled to survive. Through various odd jobs, they scraped together $60 a month--attempting to live off $2 a day.
In 2011, a missionary from the United States brought some of Daniel’s handmade paper-bead, necklaces and bracelets back with her to the United States.
Then, an incredible thing happened. People in the States began to ask for more. The demand for Daniel’s beautiful, African-style crafts grew from twenty pieces a month to hundreds, and now … thousands. Within years, a business was born.
Daniel and Jalia’s lives were changed forever. But it wasn’t just their own lives that began to change. The couple have been able to use their company - African Style Arts - to drastically change the lives of hundreds in and around their community.
Today, African Style Arts provides jobs for 300 workers … 100 in house, and 200 in the neighboring communities. The company designs, creates, and wholesales hand-designed, handmade necklaces, bracelets, and other colourful ornaments to the States for revenues of between $300,000 to over $400,000 per year.
But that is not the end of it. The truly incredible story of African Style Arts is how they are transforming the lives of their workers and neighbors, providing patient training and mentoring, focusing on vulnerable women and children in poorer areas. African Style Arts gives out interest-free loans to its workers and helps finance a free day care center for mothers who want to work but cannot afford to do so because of their children. The company has even teamed up with their US client to sponsor 32 children’s education.
Despite their incredible success, Daniel and Jalia continue to learn and plan ahead. In the near future, they hope to expand their product line-up and establish three similar operations in struggling areas of Africa.

Thaidi is a 70 year old resident of the Transkei in South Africa, an area steeped in local tradition and craftsmanship. Born with a crippling disorder, Thaidi fought against all odds to carve a life for herself as a bead artist. Learning an age old craft, Thaidi created a business selling intricate pieces to tourists and visitors to the area. Women in the area took heed of Thaidi's work and she passed on her skills, empowering dozens more as tourism increased. Now, e-commerce platform Artisans In Africa is opening the doors to an international market and allowing Thaidi the ability to offer her extraordinary work to socially conscious customers across the globe.

This is a short documentation on Olayami Dabls, an esteemed fine-artist, museum curator, and historian working in Detroit's MBAD African Art Museum, which has the mission to build and organize collections of beads, beadworks, textiles, sculptures, and other cultural relics which exemplify the vastness of the African people's material culture.
I spoke with Dabls late May and early June of 2015 about his artwork and the $100,000 he received by the Knight foundation here in Detroit to fix the roof on the adjacent building so the African Bead Museum can be completed and put on display. In the meantime, I encourage you to watch this short doc and learn more about his art practice regarding the art-objects displayed around the land.

Video of Collection of Trade Beads. African, Venetian, Russian.
Have finally decided to let these go, so we're putting them up so sale.
I'm sorry that it's not a professional video, as this was originally made for just a few people who were interested in the beads.
Sold Trade & Antique Beads for over 15 years. Quit selling the them approximately 15 years ago. This was my personal collection. Beads date anywhere from 70 years ago to well over 100+ years ago
Haven't kept up with the current prices but just going by the prices that I originally paid for them back then, these beads sold individually should be worth well over 100 K. But then again that was 20 to 30 years ago.
There are many, many one of a kind beads and many beads that most people have never seen. Some so rare that you've only seen in bead history books.
Not interested in selling them individually. Looking to sell the collection as a whole.
There are many, many more beads than those shown in the video. These are just what beads we happened to pull to shoot the video for a friend of ours who was interested in them. I have pictures of the additional beads that are available upon request. Please understand that there are well over 200 additional pictures available with the beads laid out in groups so less pictures would be needed,
The video does not do justice to the beauty of the individual beads.
More Old and Antique beads than you've probably ever seen in one place.
This collection really needs to be appreciated.
Trades will be considered.
For more information please contact us at Beecroftbows@gmail.com
Or contact John personally at 940-636-0591

Waistbeads, also known as belly beads, have traditionally been worn by African women since the 15th century to serve many celebratory purposes. In Africa, a bead is rarely a simple ornament; beads are worn visibly as a sign of status or hidden as an invisible yet perceptible signal to a husband or lover.

AIDS Awareness Ribbon - Beaded Pin Tutorial

In this video, Rachel demonstrates her step-by-step approach to making an AIDS awareness ribbon beaded pin. She first learned the design while serving as a Peace CorpsVolunteer in South Africa, and then later adapted the concept as a project for her Palala Girls Club (PGC) in the village of Kgobagodimo in the Limpopo Province.
The PGC was a PEPFAR-funded program aimed at teaching Grade 6 and 7 girls health-related and culturally-appropriate life lessons, while incorporating a fun activity or craft -- one which might generate a sustainable income within the rural community.

The first installment of my grand journey to Africa!
In this part you will see the tiring flight, Bouncing BabyElephants, how Kazuri Beads are made, Karen Blixen's house and a giant Gift shop.
Below is the actual journal entry's that I wrote for this day. (Besides the plane and arrival entries)
4/2/16
Day 1 - Nairobi, KenyaDearJournal,
We start our day heading off to Nairobi National Park, lead by our guide Charlie, who was quite fun to talk to in the Land Cruiser along the way.
He would explain interesting stories to us while we would head down the dirt roads.
The first place we visited was the David SheldrickElephantOrphanage, and let me tell you, right of the bat, this had to be the best experience I've had on this trip so far! I got to see and interact with baby Elephants!
Adorable, charismatic, and muddy, these little big babies where a ton of fun to watch. Some even got close enough to be petted by guests of the orphanage, including myself. They are surprisingly fuzzy!
You should have seen how fast they drank their milk. Really fascinating animals.
It's sad how their mothers were poached though. I'm glad that they are at least in good hands, and have the opportunity to eventually become wild again.
The next place we visited was the Kazuri Bead Factory, where we witness the craftsmanship of clay beads, plates and pots, including clay molds.
Kazuri actually means "Small and Beautiful" in the language of Swahili.
The intricacy in the artwork on the beads were very stunning in detail. The women who were working on them were very nice as well, as they all said Jambo! (Hello!) to us at the same time when we walked in. I thought that was very cute.
It was all like a work of art, with all the artists at work.
After the bead factory, we then headed to the Karen Blixen Museum.
You might have seen this place in the movie "Out of Africa". That was a replica in the movie. Here we saw the actual thing.
The palm trees planted next to the house are 99 years old!
We got a nice informal tour of the inside of the house, but unfortunately I could not film inside.
And then we went to a giant gift shop!
Filled with all sorts of animals, masks and paintings of MasiiMara.
A very nice day indeed! Quite an adventure and yet it's only the first day!
Till the next entry, this is Ian signing off!
P.S.Funny jokes were had at the dinner table! Haha!

“What kind of business leaders will ABI raise?”
From Rags to Beads
A Ugandan Entrepreneurial Success Story
----------------------------------------
Find out more about ABI on http://africanbusiness.institute
----------------------------------------
In 2005, Daniel and Jalia Matovu were living off $2 a day. Today, their company, African Style Arts, trains and employs 300 locals, earning revenues of $300,000 to over $400,000 per year. They also offer interest-free loans to those in need.
Daniel and Jalia met as students of African Bible CollegeUganda in 2005. Having both converted to Christianity against the wishes of their families, they were destitute, with no family support. Daniel was taking sponsored courses while the couple received help, food, and clothing from missionaries in the college. But they still struggled to survive. Through various odd jobs, they scraped together $60 a month--attempting to live off $2 a day.
In 2011, a missionary from the United States brought some of Daniel’s handmade paper-bead, necklaces and bracelets back with her to the United States.
Then, an incredible thing happened. People in the States began to ask for more. The demand for Daniel’s beautiful, African-style crafts grew from twenty pieces a month to hundreds, and now … thousands. Within years, a business was born.
Daniel and Jalia’s lives were changed forever. But it wasn’t just their own lives that began to change. The couple have been able to use their company - African Style Arts - to drastically change the lives of hundreds in and around their community.
Today, African Style Arts provides jobs for 300 workers … 100 in house, and 200 in the neighboring communities. The company designs, creates, and wholesales hand-designed, handmade necklaces, bracelets, and other colourful ornaments to the States for revenues of between $300,000 to over $400,000 per year.
But that is not the end of it. The truly incredible story of African Style Arts is how they are transforming the lives of their workers and neighbors, providing patient training and mentoring, focusing on vulnerable women and children in poorer areas. African Style Arts gives out interest-free loans to its workers and helps finance a free day care center for mothers who want to work but cannot afford to do so because of their children. The company has even teamed up with their US client to sponsor 32 children’s education.
Despite their incredible success, Daniel and Jalia continue to learn and plan ahead. In the near future, they hope to expand their product line-up and establish three similar operations in struggling areas of Africa.

Artisans In Africa: The Story Of Thaidi, Xhosa Traditional Bead Artist

Thaidi is a 70 year old resident of the Transkei in South Africa, an area steeped in local tradition and craftsmanship. Born with a crippling disorder, Thaidi fought against all odds to carve a life for herself as a bead artist. Learning an age old craft, Thaidi created a business selling intricate pieces to tourists and visitors to the area. Women in the area took heed of Thaidi's work and she passed on her skills, empowering dozens more as tourism increased. Now, e-commerce platform Artisans In Africa is opening the doors to an international market and allowing Thaidi the ability to offer her extraordinary work to socially conscious customers across the globe.

Dabls and the African Bead Museum

This is a short documentation on Olayami Dabls, an esteemed fine-artist, museum curator, and historian working in Detroit's MBAD African Art Museum, which has the mission to build and organize collections of beads, beadworks, textiles, sculptures, and other cultural relics which exemplify the vastness of the African people's material culture.
I spoke with Dabls late May and early June of 2015 about his artwork and the $100,000 he received by the Knight foundation here in Detroit to fix the roof on the adjacent building so the African Bead Museum can be completed and put on display. In the meantime, I encourage you to watch this short doc and learn more about his art practice regarding the art-objects displayed around the land.

African art

African art is a term typically used for the art of Sub-Saharan Africa. Often, casual, amateur observers tend to generalize "traditional" African art, but the continent is full of people, societies and civilizations, each with a unique visual culture. The definition may also include the art of the African Diasporas, such as the art of African Americans. Despite this diversity, there are some unifying artistic themes when considering the totality of the visual culture from the continent of Africa.

Journey to Africa - Day 1 - Big Babies and Beads

The first installment of my grand journey to Africa!
In this part you will see the tiring flight, Bouncing BabyElephants, how Kazuri Beads are made, Karen Blixen's house and a giant Gift shop.
Below is the actual journal entry's that I wrote for this day. (Besides the plane and arrival entries)
4/2/16
Day 1 - Nairobi, KenyaDearJournal,
We start our day heading off to Nairobi National Park, lead by our guide Charlie, who was quite fun to talk to in the Land Cruiser along the way.
He would explain interesting stories to us while we would head down the dirt roads.
The first place we visited was the David SheldrickElephantOrphanage, and let me tell you, right of the bat, this had to be the best experience I've had on this trip so far! I got to see and interact with baby Elephants!
Adorable, charismatic, and muddy, these little big babies where a ton of fun to watch. Some even got close enough to be petted by guests of the orphanage, including myself. They are surprisingly fuzzy!
You should have seen how fast they drank their milk. Really fascinating animals.
It's sad how their mothers were poached though. I'm glad that they are at least in good hands, and have the opportunity to eventually become wild again.
The next place we visited was the Kazuri Bead Factory, where we witness the craftsmanship of clay beads, plates and pots, including clay molds.
Kazuri actually means "Small and Beautiful" in the language of Swahili.
The intricacy in the artwork on the beads were very stunning in detail. The women who were working on them were very nice as well, as they all said Jambo! (Hello!) to us at the same time when we walked in. I thought that was very cute.
It was all like a work of art, with all the artists at work.
After the bead factory, we then headed to the Karen Blixen Museum.
You might have seen this place in the movie "Out of Africa". That was a replica in the movie. Here we saw the actual thing.
The palm trees planted next to the house are 99 years old!
We got a nice informal tour of the inside of the house, but unfortunately I could not film inside.
And then we went to a giant gift shop!
Filled with all sorts of animals, masks and paintings of MasiiMara.
A very nice day indeed! Quite an adventure and yet it's only the first day!
Till the next entry, this is Ian signing off!
P.S.Funny jokes were had at the dinner table! Haha!

AIDS Awareness Ribbon - Beaded Pin Tutorial

In this video, Rachel demonstrates her step-by-step approach to making an AIDS awareness ribbon beaded pin. She first learned the design while serving as a Peace CorpsVolunteer in South Africa, and then later adapted the concept as a project for her Palala Girls Club (PGC) in the village of Kgobagodimo in the Limpopo Province.
The PGC was a PEPFAR-funded program aimed at teaching Grade 6 and 7 girls health-related and culturally-appropriate life lessons, while incorporating a fun activity or craft -- one which might generate a sustainable income within the rural community.
The bead pattern can be viewed and downloaded here: https://www.scribd.com/doc/248200572/AIDS-Awareness-Ribbon-Beaded-Pin-Pattern
Rachel and her husband's Peace Corps memoire, Plod On, is available online at: http://www.plodonbook.com.
